About Isaac French

I grew up on a farm in central Texas, homeschooled alongside nine siblings in a traditional faith-rooted community.

Best childhood ever.

It was my Grandma Jan who first sparked my love for art with her weekly kitchen table art classes. And I’ve been dreaming up businesses for as long as I can remember: from home-brew soda to antique typewriter repair, and plenty in between.

At 24, with $20k of savings and a whole lot of help, I turned a 5-acre patch of swampy land into a modern village of lakeside cabins. Just ten months after breaking ground, Live Oak Lake welcomed its first guests.
